Loving Mom 79

Chapter 79

The entire hospital floor had been reserved by Carter for Kelly. Now, the hallway was silent, not a soul in sight.

Then, steady footsteps echoed through the emptiness, drawing closer with each passing second.

Sharon’s nerves tensed. Her breath hitched involuntarily.

The footsteps passed right by the fire exit where she was hiding.

She didn’t dare move. Didn’t dare look.

Only after hearing the soft click of a door closing did she step out of the stairwell.

Her steps were cautious as she made her way to Kelly’s room.

In the reflection on the glass panel beside the door, she caught a glimpse of herself-tense, hesitant, almost furtive.

She froze.

She was Carter’s lawful wife, and yet here she was, creeping around like a thief, afraid of being seen.

Kelly, on the other hand, could appear before her so openly-so assured-declaring in that calm, unshakable voice just how important she was to Carter.

And she was. Kelly was important.
